iTunes Store experiencing problems, some people unable to download apps

We've been getting reports from some people, in some parts of the world, unable to get to the iTunes Store or to download apps. As of now, Apple System Status is reporting problems with the iTunes Store, but not yet the App Store. Since they're connected, it's safe to assume the problem is pretty general.

If you're having trouble accessing iTunes Store or downloading apps, let us know where you are, when your trouble started, and when it starts working again!

Users may be unable to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore. Users may also be unable to download previously-purchased content, use iTunes Match, or successfully restore Apps and Music from an iCloud backup.

Not much to do but wait and hope Apple gets their WebObjects all swept back in order quickly...

Update 2: Apple is reporting all services restored as of 10:54am PDT. Everything working for everyone again?

App Store. Miami. About the time when this was posted. :/ let's hope apple fixes this. I can only see my purchased ones. And updates. Every other page is blank. If I try downloading an app it won't download and tell me to enter my apple ID. Then it says it can't connect. I press retry , nothing. I've tried turning off wifi, reboot, rebooting my wifi.. Nothing at all. My friends aren't wake yet so .. I can't contact them to ask if it works.

I thought it was a problem with the Beta I just installed (iPhone 5, Beta 5)

Despite all my apps being updated prior to the update - it started telling me I had over 52(!) updates - however whenever I tried to download an update, it just spun and spun and spun and then It kept asking me to put in my password, and now it just won't let me sign in at all.

Is this a knock on effect or am I actually suffering a different problem?

I'm running Beta 5 as well, I guess you have another kind fo problem (besides the app store being down), try to do a clean install (if you have a registered UDID), this will fix any problem you have including overheating and battery drain, this will give you a serious boost on iOS 7 performance.

IF you didn't register your UDID, you can downgrade to iOS 6 then upgrade to beta 5. By "clean install" it means restoring your iPhone WITHOUT using an iCloud or PC back up.

I'm in West Sacramento, CA, I can open the App Store but whenever I try to download an app I get the "Cannot Connect to iTunes" message.....not happy right now :(. I am on my ipad if that makes any difference, though I doubt it

The App Store is the only thing that was consistently down and still remains that way. I can browse it but can't download or update anything. I'm in New Haven, CT using an AT&T iphone 5. My girlfriend (who lives with me) is using the same beta on her T-Mobile iPhone 5 and the App Store works just fine.

still not working here in rochester, ny. been unable to get past step 1 in itunes match for a week. tried all troubleshooting that i could find besides starting fresh in itunes. very frustrating.
anyone else?

Can't access App Store or iTunes at all on iPhone 5, I just get the loading symbol going around and around and eventually it says it can't connect.. Hope this gets fixed ASAP. I have tried a master reset on iPhone a couple of times, stopping any running apps. Turning iPhone off and restarting.

I was searching google for this issue and found this post. I restored my iPad 2 from iOS7 beta to ios 6.1.3. after doing so, only some of my apps came back.....the others are sitting there in "waiting" mode. Tried to download new apps to both my ipad and iPhone, and even on my mac all resulting in "can't connect to iTunes." I wouldn't think the issue would STILL be going on. Looks like i'll have to wait on Apple to fix the issue.

In the Atlanta area it goes on and off constantly one day it all works fine then the next day I can't update then the next or should I say today I can only view my updates and can't even search for a app

(Gary Indiana)........ Since yesterday August 23,2013 I haven't been able to download any apps previously purchased, nor any new applications. When I went to check the problem to see what had happened, iTunes reported the problem as existing to a bill subscription. I'm kinda worried that something will happen to my credit card because its logged into the account. If you have any answers to this problem please notify me with a response to this post. Thank you

I'm from Egypt. My iPad 3 has been freezing a lot, so I restored it and now I can't download any app.
They're always stuck at 'waiting' and then nothing happens.
I tried everything: restarting, signing out of the account and then signing back in, resetting...
I even restored it again a couple of times more. Nothing is working.

Now, that I see it's a common problem I'm less freaked out about it, but I hope they fix it soon.

I'm in Seattle and unable to access the app store - when I try, I get an error that says "Cannot Connect to App Store." I tried restarting and doing a hard boot with no success. The only thing that I am able to do with the App Store is update apps and download previously installed apps by going to Updates, then Purchased. But going to Featured or trying to do a search gives me the error message.

Ohio. Ever since I completed the ios7 update on my iPad, I can't connect to the App Store or iTunes. Talk about a pain in the butt. If I knew this was going to happen, I never would've updated. This is such a pain!!!

I updated to ios7 a couple weeks ago, and then installed new software update to ios 7.2 last week. As of last night I was able to install apps and everything was fine, no issues to date on either ios 7 or ios 7.2...Until Today...Now I'm unable to install new apps or update any of my existing apps. After trying a few things such as a simple tun off/on reboot, a hard reset, plugging phone into laptop/iTunes. I'm still unable to update any apps, or add any new apps! Keep getting an error "cannot connect to iTunes" or I'll tap on the app to install, a spinning circle will appear and then it still does not allow me to update or install the app. My cellular data is in the on position, my wifi is working, etc.. etc... (nothing has changed on my setting since installing an app successfully last night). So I have no idea what the problem could possibly be. All I know is this crap is frustrating to me; esp with the price I pay for devices, phone service, etc. It is totally unacceptable. Going to apple store is a real hike for me too; so along with time factor, gas, etc. SO if I have to go to the Apple Store for something like this...I'm not gonna be happy.

My gf and I are in Anchorage AK and whenever she tries to open iTunes on her new 5S it stays open for a second then instantly closes! Super annoying! I have the exact same phone that we got on the same day and I'm not having any issues at all!!

I have not been able to update or download apps on my iPhone 4S or my ipad 2 for probably over a month now. I get an error message saying that the app cannot be downloaded at this time, try again later, I always select the option to retry, but to no avail. My hubby has the same issue with his new ipad and iPhone 5 (all on ios7). Extremely frustrating.
I am in South Africa.

I had Facebook it says it needed an update . I click update now I can't get Facebook on my iPhone I'm
Pissed!!! It says not available to download at this time ! WTH?? This is Louisiana !! Fix this !!!!!

Haven't been able to download apps or music for 3 months now. Even free apps won't download or music I have enough for and purchase.
And it's still going on. It sucks...I've taken every suggestion people gave me and none of it works.

I had my iPod for Christmas last year. But today, I try to reconnect my iPod but my login is
no good since I had it. My password was good but it's not. I'm trying to send an email about
giving me an ID number, but my answer isn't cooperative. I have no ID number to log back in.
Whatever the problems are, it needed to get operative again like ASAP.
